http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. These are the days": a first note on Larry Eigner. However, I also found myself wishing very much that Robinson would, at least parenthetically, note that there are other types of fine poems by Eigner than those involved with momentary particulars. A short amazing Eigner poem called "Whoppers Whoppers Whoppers! That I take to be one of pure statement. Was ringing in my ears. Let's look at the poem I said was "ringing in my ears":. At first gl...

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: July 2008
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Monday, July 07, 2008. A few weeks after the Shakespeare dream, I had the Chaucer dream. I'm among several people standing in the aisle of an Amtrak train-car. It isn't clear why we are standing up; we don't seem to be waiting to use the bathroom, and there are plenty of empty seats. In fact, I do have a seat to return to, which I imagine is true also for the three or four other standees. I say, yes I do. Note: some time after dreaming the dream I realized that "daughte...

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: April 2006
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Sunday, April 30, 2006. I hope I will eventually find in print (or someone could point me toward) definite proof that Lorine Niedecker had a strong interest in etymology. For I think it's a buried meaning based on word-history that would give the striking, perplexing- arresting. As it were- conclusion of the following lines a truly satisfying and powerful significance. (This is not a complete poem, but the final section of a three-part poem called "Depression years").

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Thursday, November 30, 2006. 8 lines, lots of dashes. Euphony Variations *Orbiting Emily*. When Fiddles shoo 'way- their Spikes of- Pride-. Where- Bells let fly their Knots. Might Clocks- forego- the toxic- Traps. Hide nestled- in their Tocks? Praise- best Trumpets abhor- the Armor's Gleam. Rapped Drums- rebut the- Fight. Shout Grace- when abject- Throats still weak. Can grasp- soft- pliant Bird Song's- Might. Posted by Stephen Baraban @ 9:15 PM 2 comments.

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: "Everybody plays the fool"
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2011/04/everybody-plays-fool.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Friday, April 01, 2011. Everybody plays the fool". As the song says. "No exceptions to the rule". And there's the old saying, "even Homer nods". But I was very surprised in a library some years ago to see that the editors of Pegasus Descending: A Book of the Best Bad Verse. Had thought to include in that anthology Emily Dickinson's Poem #566-"A Dying Tiger- moaned for Drink- ", which I find to be very powerful, and believe to be oft-acclaimed. Never pain to tell thy Love.

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Tuesday, May 23, 2006. I saw Ingmar Bergman's masterful and wrenching film Cries and Whispers. Maria and Karin have unhappy marriages (Karin breaks the glass); and that a Chaplain delivers an "unusual prayer" that "confesses his own lack of faith". But I thought someone might like the main thing I noticed. Posted by Stephen Baraban @ 7:25 PM 2 comments. But is enthusiasm for Klee forever lost to me? One sign is that he never visited).

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Saturday, October 07, 2006. Unhappily, or maybe happily, I didn't take notes as it happened or shortly after. Eventually I was astonished to see people toward the rear of the march carrying intricate, extremely capacious silver containers- maybe it was only the handles of these prodigious objects that were very complex, but I think perhaps some of the huge silver bodies-proper were twisty also. What was this, some Dream? Labels: New York City. Tuesday, October 03, 2006.

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. I've always found the third verse of Bob Dylan's "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" from Blonde on Blonde. 1966) to be absolutely hilarious:. Mona tried to tell me. To stay away from the train line. She said that all the railroad men. Just drink up your blood like wine. An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that,. But then again, there's only one I've met. An' he just smoked my eyelids. An' punched my cigarette.". This idea/feeling a...
